School aged lessons take place each term and normally run for 7 weeks. Each holiday we also offer a 5 day intensive course which is a great way to see quick improvement in stroke technique.

During term 4/summer holidays/term 1 our lessons are split between the indoor pool and the outdoor pool. Level 0, Level 1 and level 2 lessons are indoor and level 3, level 4 and level 5 (triathlon training) are outdoor.

Please look at the Swim Level Table before booking your lessons. If you are unsure of your child’s level a great option is to book the pool for a family swim and let us know you are coming. We can then do a quick assessment whilst you are there.

Cancellation Policy.

We swim in virtually all weather conditions, so bring an umbrella with you if it’s raining. In the unlikely event that we have to cancel a lesson for any reason (such as lightning storms) we will offer a free swim at the chalet pools for each swimmer. We will announce this at the bottom of our home page.

If customers book lessons and then choose to cancel them we will refund the course costs minus a $10 administration fee per child booked, provided we can refill the booking. This of course becomes less likely the closer we are to the start date, or once the course has actually started.

Missed Lesson Policy

Provided we have space available in an equivalent lesson, at another time, you are welcome to “catch up” in that lesson. We cannot guarantee this however as many of our lessons are fully booked.
